I spent most of my career as a task-switching, analytical overthinker.
This put my brainpower at risk.
After I left a 25+ year international consulting career, including as equity Partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers & Ernst & Young, I began to notice that years of unchecked task switching had weakened my ability to create, think and innovate. My brainpower was not what it used to be. I often felt exhausted and overwhelmed.
So, I learned and tested new approaches to getting focused and being present in work and in life. That is why I now share these researched based methods with women like you.
You are like an olympic athlete or world-class singer whose success depends on the power of their body or voice. As a knowledge worker, your success, your livelihood, depends on the power of your brain, your capacity to focus, think and innovate!
- Through my one-on-one VIP consulting programs and mastermind community, I guide you on how to stop draining and start increasing creative & intellectual capacity.
- Through my in person, device free events and retreats, you get the space to rest your brain, tap into new sources of focus and creativity, and reconnect with self and others.
You can shift to having a full tank, enabling accomplishment with ease.
BUT….. when I was dealing with relentless busyness, brain fog, & tech overload, I didn’t know that accomplishment with ease was possible…yet!
I get the frustration of trying to achieve it all on an empty tank.
I spent my career in the tech & professional services industry, starting out at MTV Europe, then Houston’s space sector, followed by 15 years at PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young based in Moscow.
The good news - I had fast success. I made Partner in only 8 years and led tech services practices for another 8 years. Then I moved to Canada, consulted for non-profits, certified as a New Product Development Professional, and led GrantBook, a philanthropy-tech startup, to profitability.
The bad news - years of emphasizing achievement and overwork, quietly eroded my capacity and wellbeing. I hit a wall.
I had to pause
I could no longer operate as a walking head. I certified as a yoga instructor, embodiment teacher and creative play facilitator. As a result, I got out of my head and back in my body. My capacity expanded, wellbeing increased. My tank was full again.
The return of creative & intellectual capacity.
These experiences, research on attention management and personal growth work, helped me gain an understanding of the insidious nature and negative impacts of technology, both at work and in life.
So, I pivoted my career to create the resource I wish I had and dedicate my work to helping high achieving women get their capacity back.
Today, I use my 27 years in tech and professional services, advanced mind body practices, and teaching superpowers to
help women like you and me end their capacity deficit.
With every client I work with, either one-on-one, in the Mastermind community
or who attend my tech free experiences,
my aspiration is to help you increase and sustain creative & intellectual capacity, without wasting time and money on wellness band-aids and productivity hacks.

Giving Back
My business is a social enterprise. This means that profits are donated to the Inspired Children & Youth Foundation (ICYF), a registered Canadian charitable foundation Nr. 795-7337-08-RR0001.
ICYF wants to help reverse the rapid and continued decline in mental health, affecting vulnerable children & youth.
Too much screen use is having a grave impact on children's mental health.
Only 27% of Canadian school-age children meet the recommended recreational screen time of 2 hrs or less. Children's screen time skyrocketed through the pandemic. It tripled in 2020 with parents reporting children on screens 13 hrs/ day — almost every waking minute. Researchers expected to see a decrease in 2023, but parent surveys came back as consistently high.
“This has become a global health issue”, says Dr. Emma Duerden, Canada Research Chair Neuroscience & Learning Disorders, Western University.
